.The team of late Russian opponent physique Alexei Navalny on Thursday accused a Russian-Israeli billionaire of ordering the violent March attack on Navalny ally Leonid Volkov, citing documentation it secured.Volkov, Navalny's ex-chief of staff as well as previous leader of his Anti-Corruption Foundation, was actually assaulted along with teargas and also a hammer outside his house in Lithuania on March 12. Poland claimed it apprehended three suspects about the attack, along with Lithuania stating it assumed Russian exclusive services were behind the assault." Leonid Nevzlin bought the pounding as well as kidnapping of Volkov," Navalny's staff pointed out.Nevzlin is the former co-owner of exiled Kremlin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky's now-defunct oil firm Yukos. He moved abroad to Israel in 2003." But Nevzlin was actually miserable with the end result as well as really did not pay for the guaranteed $250,000 for the job," the team stated, adding that it caused a conflict between the businessman as well as the alleged planner of the attack.Navalny's group mentioned it wound up with audio and also aesthetic evidence of Nevzlin's involvement coming from a supposed "fixer" called Andrei Matus who was actually apparently bought to appropriate the hitmen's phones..Crew Navalny said it had set up a meeting with Matus in Montenegro, where the "fixer" played a recording of his telephone call with Nevzlin supporting the information of the assault on Volkov as well as 2 other assaults on banished opposition members.Group Navalny claimed Matus "faded away" soon after knowing that they would certainly not have the ability to spend him for the relevant information. "A couple of weeks eventually our company saw his products on the [Kremlin-funded journalist] Russia Today web site," Group Navalny said.The Moscow Moments can certainly not individually verify any one of the components released on Navalny's internet site.Staff Navalny claimed it strongly believes "dumb mindless disfavor" combined along with "political competitors" may possess driven the assault on Volkov..Nevzlin has certainly not reacted to the accusations, which run the risk of driving a deeper break in Russia's already ragged opponent.Replying To Group Navalny's allegations against Nevzlin, Khodorkovsky pointed out: " Either it holds true, and then Leonid Nevzlin has freaked. Or it is actually an FSB justification as well as a phony on which a great deal of loan has actually been invested. Our company have viewed such justifications more than as soon as, as an example, in the Magnitsky instance." For one reason or another, [Team Navalny private detective] Maria Pevchikh with certainty chooses the initial variation. For completely logical main reasons, I bend in the direction of the second," he carried on, requiring the allegations to be investigated through police.Group Navalny mentioned it notified the law enforcement agencies of countries where Nevzlin is believed to live and was ready to turn over its own reports." I can easily not cover my scalp around this information however,. Khodorkovsky devoted one decade behind bars Putin expropriated his multi-billion-dollar business. Due to the fact that 2013, Khodorkovsky was a prominent voice in expatriation. (Nevzlin left to Israel in 2003, when Khodorkovsky's realm was under attack coming from Putin.)," business analyst and also political analyst Konstantin Sonin created on X (previously Twitter)." What I can claim is actually that @navalny's staff has had a remarkable online reputation in fact-finding journalism. With Alexei and after that without him, they discovered several crucial incidents of [the Putin program's] corruption, their impact systems, their army relationships, and so on," he created.
